1.5" Scale Detailed Castings
|
We strive to produce finely detailed investment cast parts at an affordable price for the detail oriented live steamer. All of the parts are cast from bronze or aluminum. In order to keep the cost as low as possible all of the castings are sold in unfinished form. These means that the purchaser will have to file off the sprue tab and may have to clean up a small amount of flash. In most cases holes will be spotted but will have to drilled and tapped as required. Most people prefer to have the lower prices and spend a little time doing some simple filing to finish off the parts. NOTE: Due to the nature of our investment casting process, some parts may be periodically out of stock. We try to keep all of our advertised parts in sufficient quantity but sometimes we just can't keep up. Please be sure to inquire about our current stock before placing an order. Your patience is much appreciated. |

![]() 22" Peacock Brakewheel: This brass brakewheel was copied directly from the real thing. Complete with the "Apply" and "Release" lettering, the only difference is the real one is made from aluminum. A nice addition to a diesel locomotive. Price: $14/piece |
![]() Dual Headlight Bezel: These investment cast brass head light bezel is fully detailed and a hard piece to find in the live steam hobby. Screw bosses have been included on the back side to facilitate mounting and the installation of headlights. We recommend Luxon LED lights for a bright and long lasting headlight.
Price: $18/piece |
![]() ![]() ABDX Triple Valve: Investment cast Wabtec ABDX triple valve complete with lettering and bolt head detail. This very detailed casting was designed directly from the fullsize prints. Holes have been left to add air lines to connect to our prototypical air reservoir offered below. Easily mounted from the bottom. Price: $24/piece |

Lever Brackets: These
brass cut lever brackets are investment cast and sized for an 1/8" diameter rod.
A great detail addition to a locomotive or freight car.

![]() Stake Pockets: These brass stake pockets are investment cast brass and designed to fit a 1/2" by 1/2" stake. The mounting holes are 3/32" dia. but can be drilled to 1/8 if desired. These would make a nice detail addition to any home built flatcar.

![]() ![]() Klasing Bellcrank: These brass bell cranks are investment cast with the highest level of detail. If you look closely you can see the "Klasing" name cast into the part. The bellcrank connects the rod coming down from the brakewheel housing to a piece of chain connected to the truck brakes. When the brakes are applied, the bellcrank rotates and takes up the slack in the brake chain along the groove shown in the picture to the left. This piece provides a nice way to mount the bottom of the end of the chain from the brake wheel housings.
Price: $5.50/piece |

![]() ![]() AJAX Brake Housing: These highly detailed AJAX style brake housing are cast in brass will all the detail. The "Chicago" lettering stands 1/16" tall. The brakewheel mounting hole has been located but requires drilling for a screw or tapping depending on your mounting method. The 1/8" dia. mounting holes are the same pattern as our Klasing stamped steel housing. This is the most detailed brake housing on the market. In the future we will have a cast release lever but for now we offer the same laser cut release lever as with our Klasing housing. AJAX Housing -- Price: $10.00/piece Release Lever -- Price: $2.00/piece 12" Chain -- Price: $1.50/ft. |
